east–west position on Earth

A measure that shows how far a place on Earth is to the east or west of the main line called the Prime Meridian, usually in degrees.

استعمال کا انداز: the longitude of [a place]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse 'longitude' with 'latitude'. Remember: latitude is north or south, longitude is east or west. Another common mistake is the spelling *longtitude*, which is incorrect; the correct spelling is *longitude* without a second 't'.

east–west position in the sky

In astronomy, a measure that shows how far a planet, star, or other body in the sky is to the east or west of a fixed line in the sky, usually in degrees.

استعمال کا انداز: the celestial longitude of [a body]
عام غلطی:
Learners may not realize that 'longitude' in astronomy is similar to geographic longitude but uses a different reference line in the sky. It should not be confused with 'right ascension', which is a different but related coordinate.
ہم معنی الفاظ
ecliptic longitude (More specific; refers to longitude measured along the ecliptic plane.)
متضاد الفاظ
celestial latitude (Measures north–south position relative to the reference plane, rather than east–west.)
